no question, a lot of pressure on mitt romney going into that debate. but the president's team also knows that challengers usually do very well this that first debate. >> reporter: that's right. the obama campaign says, if you look at the last six times that an incumbent faced a challenger, that the challenge earp in five out of six times was judged to be the winner of that first debate. so, they're trying to set expectations low. president obama has done a couple practice sessions at the democratic national headquarters with john kerry playing the role of mitt romney. and on sunday, he heads to a resort outside las vegas, where the president will have intensive debate preparations, george. >> one of the things they're working on, the president can sometimes get a little defensive when challenged. >> reporter: that's right. and the first concern they have is the expectations game. but secondarily, there is this concern. president obama can show flashes of irritation. the "you're likable enough, hillary" moment from the last campaign is one that resonate

romney will take up this point at the debate six days from now. steve, let's inside these numbers. you've got some charts explaining president obama's recent surge in the polls. >> yes, because while i agree with a lot of what joe said, there are some substantive reasons why president obama should be doing better at the moment. they don't get as much attention. so let's talk a little about it. first, nobody is happy with the state of the economy at the moment. 2% growth with 8% unemployment. but as we've talked about on this show, it's the trend as much as absolute levels that determine how people feel. this is an historical chart of economic optimism going back to '09. and you can see the ups and downs of people's opinion where they started up with 42% being economically optimistic that things are going to get better. it went steadily down into the summer of '11 partly because of the weak economy, partly because of the debt ceiling crisis. since then it has been climbing back up with a few hiccups all the way back up to 42% right at the peak where it was during the obama presidenc
